After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Hawks 140-134 in overtime. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
